There's no way to do so. As I noted, there's no way to know (just as
it's nuts to continue to fulminate that "Bush lied!!!). I was simply
making an observation.

As I said, I assume that it is sincere. I'm just trying to nudge
folks' consciouses, to try to minimize false pledges. For that
reason, it would be nice to get more than ten, because 10+ would
indicate actual sincerity.

Either way, when we get to ten, Eric is effectively killfiled. (I say
"effectively" because I will continue to read his entertaining
stupidity--I will simply cease to respond to it. That doesn't mean
that I won't respond to others who continue to do so.)

Sounds like a loophole to me...
